When using Li-ion battery in this product, ensure that they are inserted correctly. Inserting 
• 
the battery upside down can cause damage to the product and possibly cause an explosion.
When the camera is used for an extended period of time, it is normal for the camera body 
• 
to feel warm.
Download all pictures and remove the battery from the camera if you are going to store the 
• 
camera for a long period of time.
The type of battery and the battery power level may cause the lens to not extend or retract 
• 
properly.
Battery safety notice
If the battery pack is mishandled, the battery pack can burst, cause a fire or even chemical 
burns. Observe the following cautions.
Do not disassemble.
• 
Do not crush and do not expose the battery pack to any shock or force such as hammering, 
• 
dropping or stepping on it.
Do not short circuit and do not allow metal objects to come into contact with the battery 
• 
terminals.
Do not expose to high temperature above 45°C (113°F) such as in direct sunlight or in a car 
• 
parked in the sun.
Do not incinerate or dispose of in fire.
• 
Do not handle damaged or leaking lithium ion batteries.
• 
Be sure to charge the battery pack using a device that can charge the batter pack.
• 
Keep the battery pack out of the reach of small children.
• 
Keep the battery pack dry.
• 
Dispose of used battery packs promptly as described in the instructions.
• 
Replace the battery with the specified type only. Otherwise, fire or injury may result. Do not 
expose the batteries to excessive heat such as sunshine, fire or the like.

Lithium-ion Battery Warning
 
Caution: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or 
equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer. Dispose of used batteries according to the 
manufacturer’s instructions. 
Camera & battery recycle notice
In the European Union, do not discard this product and battery as unsorted municipal waste. 
Contact local authorities for recycling program information.
Camera on operating notice
On operating temperatures  
Your camera is designed for use under the temperatures between 0°C and 40°C (32°F and 
104°F). Shooting in extremely cold or hot places that exceed this range is not recommended.
Do not use/ store the camera in the following places
In an extremely hot, cold or humid place. In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the 
• 
camera body may become deformed and this may cause a malfunction.
Under direct sunlight or near a heater. The camera body may become discolored or 
• 
deformed, and this may cause a malfunction.
In a location subject to rocking vibration
• 
Near strong magnetic place
• 
In sandy or dusty places. Be careful not to let sand or dust get into the camera. This may 
• 
cause the camera to malfunction, and in some cases this malfunction cannot be repaired.

Photography Terms and Definitions
Terms Definitions
auto exposure 
bracketing (AEB) A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure they properly 
expose their pictures, especially in challenging lighting situations. When AEB is 
selected, the camera automatically takes three or more shots with a different 
exposure for each frame. 
autofocus (AF)  Autofocus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its configuration in order 
to focus properly on a subject regardless of whether it is near or far from the 
camera. Autofocus lenses generally provide vastly superior image quality than 
do their fixed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth of 
field. Also known as: “AF”, “auto-focus” 
album An end-user created object that is used to logically group data objects 
according to some user-defined criteria. An album may or may not be a 
physical folder in a filesystem. 
Analog to Digital 
Converter (A/D or ADC)  A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously varying 
amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using binary output signals. 
aspect ratio cf. image aspect ratio, pixel aspect ratio. 
auto white balance 
(AWB)  With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the color 
temperature of the light and automatically adjust for that color temperature. 
Many people just leave the camera set to auto white balance all the time. 
Charge Coupled Device 
(CCD) A type of silicon integrated circuit used to convert light into an electronic 
signal. 
compression cf. image compression, sound file compression 
connection A transport-provided logical or physical persistent mechanism for transferring 
data between devices. 
Digital Print Order 
Format (DPOF) A standardized ASCII file created in a digital camera and stored on removable 
media along with the image files that indicate how many copies of which 
images should be printed. It also allows index prints, cropping, and text 
overlays to be specified.

							viii
Terms Definitions
digital still camera (DSC) A camera incorporating an image sensor which outputs a digital signal 
representing a still picture, or records a digital signal representing a still 
picture on a removable medium, such as a memory card or magnetic disk. 
dynamic range  cf. ISO DSC dynamic range, colour gamut, luminance ratio 
Exif/JPEG A compressed file format for digital cameras in which the images are 
compressed using the baseline JPEG standard, described in ISO 12234-2, 
and metadata and thumbnail images are stored using TIFF tags within an 
application segment at the beginning of the JPEG file. 
exposure index  A numerical value that is inversely proportional to the exposure provided to 
an image sensor to obtain an image. Images obtained from a camera using a 
range of exposure index values will normally provide a range of image quality 
levels. 
file system  The software structure which specifies how the data are logically organized on 
a given storage medium. 
folder An optional sub-structure in a hierarchical storage area that can contain data 
objects. 
ISO speed  A numerical value calculated from the exposure provided at the focal plane of 
an electronic camera to produce specified camera output signal characteristics 
using the methods described in the referenced standard. The ISO speed 
should correlate with the highest exposure index value that provides peak 
image quality for normal scenes. 
JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group. An image compression method defined in 
ISO/IEC 10918-1. 
memory card  A specific type of memory module with a physical form factor approximating 
that of a credit card in outline; approx. 85 mm x 55 mm. 
PC Personal Computer. Any personal computing device, which may employ various 
hardware architectures and operating systems. 
protocol Defined mechanisms for exchanging data between devices. 
StorageID  A device-specific four byte unsigned integer (UINT32) that represents a unique 
storage area that may contain data objects. The most significant sixteen bits 
of a StorageID represents the PhysicalStorageID, while the least significant 
sixteen bits of a StorageID represents the LogicalStorageID. 
USB Universal serial bus, a digital interface for connecting up to 64 devices in a 
tiered-star topology. See http://www.usb.org. 
white balance  The adjustment of electronic still picture color channel gains or image 
processing so that radiation with relative spectral power distribution equal to 
that of the scene illumination source is rendered as a visual neutral.
